The databases and add-ons will be compatible. Kodi is still based on 21 Omega.

Thanks for your reply!

Hi,

What is the reason for the new 12.2 GitHub branch please?

It appears to be latest Linux + packages from LE13 but with LE12 Kodi.

Does this need specific use case testing?

These ones work for NUC8 with HDMI 2.1 AVRs:

FYI: I used some on our QQ NUC Special Edition Kodi releases (Add full music tag support for Matroska mka and MKV files, Music Concert support in the Kodi music library (not as ‘music videos’, as ‘music’ with video) and music audio Codec recognition/UI display for Kodi skins).

We delivered 70 x Intel NUC8 to our forum members based on LE12 and the QQ Kodi mods.

I bought a ASUS NUC 14 Pro i7 recently (for s/w development on the road) running Windows 11 Pro and the Ethernet failed after I updated drivers etc. WiFi was good.

The fix was to update to latest NUC 14 bios.

I’m going to take a guess as to why it’s not the default.

CEC had many issues in my experience early on. But recently I’ve found CEC behaves well with more modern gear. Maybe CEC should be enabled as default now?

Is there anyway to set an ‘Auto’ time zone so it’s found off the internet?

I’m proving about 40 x 2nd hand refurbished Intel NUCs with LE (at cost, no profit ) and customised skin for surround/spatial music for a website I moderate in US. Most are going to US members but I have some going to EU and UK. I have a half dozen users here in Australia on top of that, but I can set the time zones here.

We are cloning a NVME SSD image onto 40 new NVME SSD 500GB drives, the wonderful thing about Linux is it just boots to LE fully setup. Users just need to set their media sources and scan. All done!

Lots of new LE/Kodi users joining our group soon!

Thanks to all the dedicated devs here and on the Kodi team. Awesome work.

I should add I’ll upload the disc image I’m using if anyone here wants it to load a fully set up NUC, it needs to be applied to a new install as it will wipe an existing disc.

I've been watching this thread for a long time and have had an Intel NUC (8i7BEK)

I back catching up on progress as I just bought another Alder Lake NUC.

The previous one has the software ‘fix’ to limit output to 10bit. Does using the Thunderbolt port fix the audio glitch on Alder Lake?

I had (and still have) a couple of NUC8s but I don’t recall having any Audio dropouts after updating the HDMI firmware on those. Maybe I’m wrong… (I have Denon AVRs)

Kodi 12 updated in Jan 1 nightly. (Tagged albums in MKA with chapters from BDA disc now import into Kodi’s music library)

No new Kodi 21 builds added since last month. Those LE 13 nightlies don’t have new Kodi 21 builds, they use Kodi 22.

There’s been some recent Kodi 21 Omega merges I’d like to test in LE12 Generic x64.

Could someone update 12 nightlies to latest Kodi 12 build please?

They work for me on 24H2. Check ‘Remember my credentials’. No need to worry about it again.

You use the SMB credentials entered in your LibreElec Settings on your device (Kodi settings UI) into the Windows dialog.

I’m sure I read a recent Linux version (6.10 or maybe 6.9) add Meteor Lake support. So don’t use LE12 (only Linux 6.6).

Reset your AVR. My old Denon AVR-X7200W would not recognise DTS or Atmos, multichannel pcm etc over HDMI (stuck on ‘stereo’) about once every 18 months or so. A hard Reset would fix it.

The above was using various LibreElec builds on Intel NUCs. The AVR reset ‘fix’ was needed over about 6 years. I’ve not had any such issue using my new Denon 4800H but it’s happened on another Denon (AVR X3400H) I use in another room once in 6 years (Intel NUC/LibreElec).

In that 6 year period it been NUC5, NUC8 (I’m now using NUC11TNK and NUC12SWH LE12 and still have 2 x NUC8 for test builds)

Try setting output to HDMI not Display Port

I've submitted this to merge support for LE13: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/9101

It can probably be backported to LE12 too .. but I'm being lazy this morning.

Could you please submit a merge request for LE12 branch?

Thanks!

NUC5 cannot decode HEVC via hardware and cannot do HDR:
